The letters L-O-U-I-S-V-I-L-L-E spell 
“ welcome” in every known language. 

Our guests describe the fragrancy of 
Louisville’s hospitality as a lingering 
sweet incense. 

“The thoroughfare of all the nation.’’— 
Theodore Roosevelt. 

Neither North nor South, nor East nor 
West—just right. 

Where everybody is glad to greet the 
visitor. 

No “keys to the city;” its gates swing 
wide in welcome to every visitor. 

Ideal climate. 

Other places may be good, but the fact 
remains that Louisville is the best.

guished foreign visitor in eulogy of 
Louisville hospitality.

Cheap and convenient side trips to

heart of the Bluegrass Region, the 
home of Jefferson Davis, the home of 
Henry Clay, the highest railroad 
bridge in the world, the town of 
Bardstown, where VanDyck, Murillo, 
VanBree and paintings of other Eu¬ 
ropean masters were spirited away 
by Louis Philipp in anticipation of 
the French Revolution before he be¬ 
came King of France. 

Mammoth Cave, the world’s seventh 
wonder, is one of the attractive side 
points of interest from Louisville. 
One could spend many months in ex¬ 
ploring. its 150 miles of passages, dis¬ 
covering new stalactites and stalag¬ 
mites, standing on the brink of 
fathomless chasms and looking up 
hundreds of feet above where an il¬ 
lusion makes it appear that the stars 
in the Heaven are shining. Yet in a 
single day one can easily go to Mam¬ 
moth Cave, traverse one or two of its 
more notable routes, and return in 
the late afternoon at an expense of 
only $5 or $C>. 

The former home of Louis Philippe is 

\ o 


two miles from Louisville on a subur¬ 
ban line. A few miles distant is the 
old homestead of Zachary Taylor, 
which witnessed the marriage of Tay¬ 
lor’s daughter to Jefferson Davis, and 
nearby is the monument which the 
Federal Government erected to Pres¬ 
ident Taylor.

the Court House, cost $72,000, and 
stands upon the largest single block 
of granite ever quarried.
